Anime News Networkreports that manga/anime sensation DEATH NOTE, will begin airing on Adult Swim beginning at midnight October 20th. The tale of a teen who fights evil with a death-dealing notebook has already been a worldwide hit in manga, anime, live action and novelized form.

OMFG I JUST SAW THE COMMERCIAL AND I CANT WAIT… DEATH NOTE IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVES… WEN I FIRST SAW THE SHOW I SAID IT WOULD BE PERFECT FOR ADULT SWIM AND NOW ITS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!! im gonna piss my pants

Death Note will translate very well to American TV, as long as they don’t change ANYTHING. I’m not a big fan of most anime, but while deployed to the middle east myself and some of the troops stationed with me watched the first season and read the manga, and it became a weekly ritual. I think Death Note will capture the attention of everyone, anime lover or not, and my only hope is that it airs earlier than midnight on a regular basis

I wish they aired the real life Death Note!! that would ROCK and NANA!! Come on not only guys watch adult swim.. there’s a lot of us gals out there.. waiting for some NANA!! and other anime to be release to the general public..

I agree with Angry Pancake. Anime is all right in small doses but when little freaks who obsess over it come around, it wrecks the whole enjoyment. Hell, that goes for any tv show. Whatever, I guess that’s life.

I can’t wait to see this! I believe it was Viz who got this so it should be…okay….

BTW, the person who said that Adult Swim does a good job with their dubs: ADULT SWIM DOESN’T DUB ANYTHING they get the shows to air them. FUNimation, and Viz gives them their shows to air. Adult Swim is just what that special air-time is called. This is a Viz dub so it won’t be the greatest. For example: Viz dubed one piece MY EARS BLED. FUNimation bought the rights for it from Viz, no I am super happy because I can listen to it without bleeding out my ears!!

I can’t wait to see this though, L’s voice sounds really hot, but that’s just judging it by that 3 second clip of his voice NOT distorted. Light’s voice dosent sound insane enough though. Go watch the Trailer on Viz.com it’s a weird trailer.

I cannot wait for this!
It’s one of my absolute favourite shows of all time.
I came across it because of some fan art, and now I am completely addicted.
And I agree. Light’s voice doesn’t sound sinister enough. I hope it ends up changing towards the end. And they did pick a good L voice, so I’m happy about that.
I also hope they don’t block anything from the air, like the bleeding sequences and stuff, or I will be thoroughly upset.
I honestly will be standing my TV till midnight.

Yeah, i have read the whole series, and seen all the episodes in Japanese. I think thsat the Japanese series is better but who knows i just herd about it today so yeah. Anyways im shure it will be fine hopefully L doesn’t have a crapy voice LOL. OH and the movies?…. are they going to be in English?……. i have the emported ones the 2nd movie has BAD subbes….(i waisted 15 bucs …) anyways its great that they have it on Adult Swim now , now everyone will recieve the gift of deathnote and most of all L….. ^.^
